Number 50
JACK ALLSBR00K IS ELECTED
TO SUCCEED J. 0. HARMON AS
PRESIDENT OF STUDENT BODY
First Year Law Student Wins
Over C. A. Holshouser by
Large Majority.
ELECTION VERY ORDERLY
Only Two Candidates in the Race
' Less Than Twenty Illegal
Votes Were Cast.
J. R. Allsbrook, first year livw stu
dent from Roanoke Rapids, was elected
president of the student body in the elec
tion held Wednesday, receiving 87G votes
to the 407 of his opponent, Chas. A. Hols
hauser, a junior from Salisbury. " The
election was unusually quite and order
ly, no bitterness or factional animosity
being shown on either side. Hoth of
the candidates were warmly supported
by their friends but no mud-slinging was
indulged in.
The new president, who is the 6rst
professional student to have received
this much coveted honor, is a member of
the Thi Assembly, in the work of which
he has taken an active part, having been
treasurer during the past year. He was
one of the Phi representatives in the
Junior Oratorical contest this spring.
He is also a member of the Phi Alpha
Delta legal fraternity, Epsilon Phi Del
ta and is on the gymn team.
The final count of the ballots and the
official announcement of Allsbrook's vic
tory rings down the curtain on the chief
political drama of the year. The first
act was staged in Chapel on Monday,
April 10. Nominations were opened and
the name of Ilolshauser proposed. This
brought no particular surprise to any
body, because it was generally under
stood that the junior class president
would be a candidate. S. 15. Midyette
was nominated, but later withdrew his
name.
Allsbrook 's nomination brought up the
inevitable wrangle over eligibility re
quirements. According to the measure
first passed in 1921 the student presi
dent must come from the rising senior
class and must have been a student at
the University for three years. It was
only after considerable dissent ion that
the original proposition was passed and
it has 1 ecu a source of discontent in all
elections since. Under tins regulation
Allshrook's nomination was challenged
and the hall was thrown into such con
fusion and debate that it was impossible
to finish with the business at hand.
On the following Friday ballots were
prepared and the students voted on the
question of limiting eligibility to members
of the junior class. There was a gen
eral feeling that such limitation discrimi
nates unfairly against members of the
professional schools. Out of three prop
ositions submitted on the ballot, the stu
dent body voted for the second, limiting
eligibility requirements to Ujree years'
residence.

The Publications Union met in the
"Y" last Monday night. At this

SMALL AUDIENCE HEARS
FIRST OF WEIL LECTURES
Discusses the Nature and Limits of
the Bight of Popu
lar Rule.
The first of the Weil lectures was de
livered to a rather meager audience in
Gerard Hall Wednesday night Mr. Fab
ian Franklin, of New York City, is giv
ing the lectures this year. He has
chosen for his general topic "The Rule
of the People." , This is divided into the
following sub-topics: "Majority Rule
and the Doctrine of Divine Rights";
"The Function of Leadership"; "The
Spirit of Liberty." The last two lec
tures will be reviewed in the next issue
of the Tar Heel.
Mr. Franklin, although born in Hun
gary, is one of the foremost thinkers
aud exponents of Americanism of today.
lie was one of the first students of
Johns Hopkins University, and later be
came iu instructor there. He is at pres
ent editor of the New York Independent.
The Weil lectures are given yearly
under a foundation established by Mr.
Sol and Henry Weil, of Goldsboro. They
always bear on some phase of American
t 'itizenship.
In the first lecture Mr. Franklin dis
cussed the nature and limits of the right
of popular rule. He first o all spoke
of the downfall of the doctrine of divine
right of kings in France aud England.
"This doctrine." he said, "was establish
ed first in France by Louis XIV. Later
on the Stuarts in Kuglaud adopted a
policy amounting to the same thing. The
revolution in 1008 did much toward
breaking down this doctrine, but it re
mained for the French and American
revolutions of the 18th century to com
pletely ruin it and offer something in
its place."
Mr. Franklin maintains that the ma
jority should not have unlimited or
'divine'" power, as many are prone to
believe. "The founders of our nation
did not regard it this way. It has al
ways been a custom that the majority
has a right to rule, but not that it shall

ALL PLAYS SUCCESSFUL
The Carolina Playmakers will finish
their triumphant two-weeks tour of tho
western part of the state tomorrow-
night in Pinehurst. Tonight they play

"Hillsboro delighted with Carolina

The mayor of Beidsville, M. P. Cum

The three plays presented were "Ag

and "Mamma," a comedy by Ernest
Thompson.
The AVinston-Salem Journal announc
ed in its headlines that the "brilliant
work" by Playmakers "delights large
audience." In speaking of this, the
second appearance of the Playmakers
in the city, the newspaper said: "We
hope there will be a third, a fourth;
in short, that we are included in their
itinerary every year. .. No finer move
ment has ever had its inception in
North Carolina than this promoted by
Professor Koch and fostered1 by our
State University to establish a native
drama of our state. It marks a new
era in the literary history of our com
monwealth. "Aside from the praiseworthy effort
to establish a native drama, the Play
makers present entertainment of a very
high merit." ,
From Salisbury came the following
telegram: "Flattering advance notices
of Playmakers more than fulfilled last

In Charlotte, April 20, the perform

an audience of near 1,150. The Char

Darkness Finally Tuts End
To Fifteen Inning Struggle
Poorest Exhibition of Baseball Witnessed Here Fifteen Errors
Recorded During Game.
Carolina and Guilford struggled
strough 15 innings of agonizing baso
ball playing Tuesday afternoon on Em
erson field. The affair was called at
the end of the fifteenth inning on ac
count of darkness with tho score stand
ing 8 to 8. The game was about the
poorest exhibition of the national pas
time ever witnessed hero. No less than
15 errors were recorded. Carolina was
responsible for ten while Guilford made
five.- :
Again Bill Fotzer gave his scrub
pitchers a chance to shine and the re
sult .was almost a repetition of the
Lynchburg game. Finch started the af
fair arid got by the first inning, but
in the second the Quakers hit him to
11 parts of the field. With one down
and three runs acroBS he was relioved
by Coffey. He was wild and when the
fourth frame opened up Coltraine was
sent in, and he succeeded in holding
the Guilford team to two runs during
the three innings that he worked.
At this point "Tick" Moore got his
first chance of the Benson and after ho
was scored on twice in the seventh, due
mainly to his wildness, he settled down
and pitched air-tight ball for the re
mainder of the contest. The Quakers
were able to get only four hits off his
delivery in the nine innings that he
worked. Ferrel started for Guilford,
but was relieved in the fourth by Burge
nud after tho seventh frame the gamo
developed into a pitching duel between
Burge and Moore, with Moore having
a little advantage.
Again Captain Casey Morris' big bat
played a big part in the game. In the
oighth with Guilford leading by one
run, he connected solidly with one of
Burge 's fast ones and slammed it to
left for the circuit.
Carolina started off in the first with
a bang. McDonald took one in the ribs,
McLean reached first on an error by
Winn, Bonner's sacrifice advanced both
runners, and both came home on Shir
ley's single to left. A moment later
"Mule" trotted home when Morris dou
bled down the third base line. Sweet
man and Griffith were easy outs.
Guilford put over four markers in
their half of the second, on three er
rors, two singles, and two bases on
balls. Finch walked Ferrell, Smith
struck out, English reached first on Mc
Lean 's bobble. At this point Cuinmings
hit a slashing single to center and went
home when it got away from Sweet
man. Then McDonald's error put Shore
on first, and Frazier singled to left. At
this -juncture Coffey relieved Finch.
Ilayworth walked and Shore scored on
Burge 's sacrifice .fly.
Carolina got another tally in the sec
ond on Coffey's throe-base hit and Mc
Donald's single. And in the third a

Louis D. Froelick, editor of the Asia
Magazine, is a visitor on tho Hill this
week as the guest of Louis Graves, pro
fessor of journalism. Mr. Froelick met
the class in journalism two mornings
and made interesting talks on his own
experiences in tho Far East and also
on the life of Willard Straight, found
er of the Asia Magazine and a member
of the American consulate in China.
' ' The purposes of the Asia Magazine, ' '
said Mr. Froelick, "are to arouse inter
est in Asiatic problems and make Amer
icans realize what a great civilization
lies beyond the Pacific, also to treat of
different phases of the economic and
political connections of this country
with Asiatic countries. Thero is not
another such journal published. The
National Geographic Magazine is the
only one that approximates the field
covered by the Asia' Magazine."
. Mr. Froelick told of his work in the
American Y.-M. C. A. in Pekin and
many interesting . trips through the
country. He paid high tribute to Wil
lard Straight aud his efforts in behalf
of American interests in the Eust.
Fifteen students will receive high
scholastic recognition Tuesday night
when their names will be announced
to the public as having successfully
passed the Phi Beta Kappa require
ments. Rev. O. M. Voorhees, national
secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa soci
ety, will speak on the occasion which
will be the first time in several years
that the Phi Beta Kappa candidates
have been formally announced at a
meeting thrown open to the public.
This step has been taken in order to
impross the students with the signifi
cance and desirability of the Phi Beta
Kappa attainment. Rev. Mr. Voorhees
comes here from Atlanta after an ex
tended tour in the South where ho has
been getting the value of tho society
before college students.
The local chapter of the Phi Beta
Kappa society was established here in
1893 and the national chapter was re
ceived about the year 1913. At pres
ent there are four undergraduate mem
bers and 50 faculty members of tho
society in Chapel Hill. The local chap
ter maintains one of the most riffid
sets of requirements in the country,
92 1-2 being tho grade necessary for
membership in the society.
BIG-BROTHERS BANQUET
T Officers Will Be

for Virginia.
All aboard for Greensboro ! Two stutes
will eagerly await the outcome of the
Virginia-Carolina classic, played at Cone
Park tomorrow. You can't afford to miss
it, so catch the "Greensboro Special" at
Carrboro in the morning and see the most
important game of the season. Train
leaves at 8:30 and the round-trip fare
is only $3.00.
Virginia-Carolina game ! The phrase
is suggestive of never-to-be-forgotten
battles, of touchdowns in the last minute,
of winning runs in the ninth inning, and
of many glorious deeds that fill the pages
of athletic history at both institutions.
All indications point toward an enrich
ment of that history in tomorrow's con
test. Two evenly matched teams and
two well known baseball heads, "Greasy"
Neale and Bill Fetzer, give promise of
a hard fought, thrilling game.
The city of Greensboro will be the
center of hospitality in the South to
morrow. An endless stream of Carolina
supporters, Virginia backers, and regu
lar dyed-in-the-wool fans will pour into ;
the Gate City from all directions. Every ;
kind of conveyance, from "flivver" to ,
freight train, will be pressed into service. ;
Stores have decorated their windows with ,
the Blue and White and the Orange and
Blue, and preparations have been made ;
to receive the annual pilgrimage to N.
C. C. and Greensboro College for Women. :
If Carolina appeared mediocre in the "
Guilford game, Virginia has even lesB
of which to bo proud. Richmond Uni- :
versify defeated the C)!d Dominion by a .'
10 to 0 score and V. M. I. shut out
Ncale's tenm, 6 to 0, with Captain Page .
pitching for the Cadets. Last week
marked the return of Benny Arnold, star .
left fielder and half buck, to the Orange .
and Blue line-up, after a spell of pneu-
monia. In both contests the Hpeedy ,

Herman Bryson or Bill Ferebee will

game to twirl a few innings if neces

Greensboro last spring, seems to bo tlu
most likely choice in the Virginia camp, ;

Sijr Out of Eleven Entrants
WinCottetedJV.C. Monograms
Largest Number Ever to Win Out in Gym Contests Leggett Wins
Honor in Freshman Year.
Frederick Archer, Superintendent of
Schools of Greensboro, was in Chapel
Hill Saturday on business with P. J.
Weaver, professor of music in the University,
The largest number of men that have
ever made letters in the gym proved
their rights to wear tho covoted N.C.
last Monday night, when six out of 11
entrants successfully completed tho 80
required events. Those winning tho
monogram were A. C. Hewitt, Hickory;
C. L. Leggett, Hertford; J. R. Sams,
Kinstou; W. D. White, Beaufort; W. E.
Smith, Scotland Neck; and Vernon E.
Brown, of Richland. C. L. Leggett, a
member of the freshman class, was ad
judged to have shown the best form
among those participating in the tryout.
Leggett, in winning a gym letter in
his freshman year, has achieved an hon
or which has come to only two before
him. Carl S. Coffey, of the class of
1922, was one of the two. Leggett is
a natural gym man; he has a wonderful
physique and possesses unusual form for
a first year man. The unsuccessful con
testants were R. Y. Thorpe, J. R. Alls
brook, J. II. Bonner and Weston Bruncr.
The first three lost out on the hand
stand from the mat, while the hand
spring straight arms from the horse
proved to bo Weston Bruncr 's jonah.
Although they failed to get the N.C.
in this tryout, all the unsuccessful par
ticipants possess marked ability as gym
men, and will surely come through at
the next tryout.
D. B. "Mary" Worsham entered the
tryout with the others, and successfully
completed the 39 events on the hori
zontal and parallel bars. At this stage
his hands became tender and he wan
permitted to drop out with what he
had done to his credit. He will prob- -ably
be given a chance to finish at some
later date. If "Mary" makes his N.C. :
he will be the only blind student to
have ever achieved that distinction.
"Mary" is a good worker, has plenty -'
of grit and determination, a well de
veloped body, and good form.
The judges were C. P. Spruill, Hard
ing Butt, Lacy Ransom, Fred Dula, C.
E. Spencer and T. P. Gholson, all hav
ing made a letter in the gym. The ,
1923 gym team has become very popu- ;
lar with tho student body by the well ;
developed exhibitions which it gave -between
the halves of many basketball
games this winter and on other special
occasions. The finished skill of the
team is the result of tho careful coach- ;
ing and training given the candidates
by Dr. Lawson and his assistants, C. E.
Spencer and T. P. Gholson, who work
about two and a half hours daily with
the men interested in gym work. - ;
The requirements that the six men ,
met, thereby winning the much desired
N.C, were:
